In the same year:

al-Ṣāliḥ Ayyūb dispatched an order summoning a number of Damascus dignitaries who had been accused of favoring al-Ṣāliḥ Ismāʿīl. Among them were the judge Muḥyī al-Dīn ibn al-Zakī (1), the sons of Ṣaṣrā, Ibn al-ʿImād the scribe, al-Ḥulaymī—a mamlūk of al-Ṣāliḥ Ismāʿīl—and al-Shihāb Ghāzī, the governor of Buṣrā. When they reached Egypt, no punishment or humiliation (2) was inflicted on them; on the contrary, robes of honor were conferred upon some, and all were graciously allowed to depart of their own choosing.

Among the notables who died that year (3):

• al-Ḥusayn ibn al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī ibn Ḥamzah al-ʿAlawī al-Ḥusaynī, Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Aqsasī, the naqīb, Quṭb al-Dīn. He was originally from Kufa, resided in Baghdad, and held the office of naqīb; later he was imprisoned in Kufa. A learned, cultured, and accomplished poet, Ibn al-Sāʿī recorded many of his verses—may Allah have mercy on him.

• al-Shalūbīn (6) the grammarian (7): ʿUmar ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Azdī, Abū ʿAlī al-Andalusī al-Ishbīlī, known as al-Shalūbīn—a word which, in the Andalusian dialect, means “the fair-complexioned blond.” Ibn Khallikān (8) said: “With him the line of the great grammarians came to its close, though he was somewhat absent-minded.” He mentioned al-Shalūbīn’s poetry and writings, including his Commentary on al-Jazūliyya and the Book of Preparation, and dated his death to this very year. He had passed the age of eighty—may Allah, exalted is He, have mercy on him and pardon him.

• Shaykh ʿAlī ibn [Abī al-Ḥasan ibn Manṣūr al-Busrī] (9), known as al-Ḥarīrī (10).
